Temple, the third-easternmost team in the conference, will play in the West, flying regularly to San Diego, Boise, and Texas (and vice versa). Louisville, which in a pure geographic split would be in the West, remains in the East division—possibly a reward (or bribe) for not fleeing the conference. Here's the full alignment:

EAST

WEST

UCF

Boise State

Cincinnati

Houston

UConn

Memphis

Louisville

SDSU

Rutgers

SMU

USF

Temple

Quibbling about geography now is pointless; that horse is long gone. In a previous post on realignment, we noted that the geographic center of the Big East is migrating 486 miles, from West Virginia's panhandle to an hour's drive from the Mississippi River.
